The Silver Bull

The Silver Bull

On his knees, a silver bull holds a spouted vessel. This six-inch figurine was found near Susa in Iran. The bull dates to the earliest Elamite culture, 3100–2900 BC, known as proto-Elamite. Traces of cloth were found, perhaps it was intentionally buried as part of a ceremony. — Ticia Verveer
